at six o'clock, a secret ballot will start, which closes at eight o'clock. the bouts will be counted after that and the result announced. it is expected the prime minister is likely to win, but by how much will be key. a slim victory could still speu be key. a slim victory could still spell big problems for mrjohnson. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. our political correspondent iain watsonjoins me her in downing street. we are accompanied by some rather unhelpful music at the gates! how confident are mrjohnson's critics that they can win this vote? brute confident are mrjohnson's critics that they can win this vote? we are heafina that they can win this vote? we are hearin: a that they can win this vote? we are hearing a very _ that they can win this vote? we are hearing a very loud _ that they can win this vote? we are hearing a very loud protest - that they can win this vote? we are hearing a very loud protest at - that they can win this vote? we are hearing a very loud protest at the l hearing a very loud protest at the gates of downing street, but it is not conservative mps, in the tranquillity and secrecy of the ballot box that will really matter, and lots of long—standing critics say around a third of the parliamentary party are prepared to vote against him, perhaps 130. 180 have to vote in order to oust him, and they may not get there, but
1:07 pm
their hope is, if he looks as if he is destabilised, potentially other ministers would twist his arm and get him to go. but his staunch supporters have been speaking in the house of commons, talking to colleagues, saying if he wins by just one vote, he will stay on. so the messages if more people decide back borisjohnson, then this will help when it comes to taking on the opposition. if he wins by a sliver, he is going nowhere, and that is just a gift to the labour party. as one former minister put it, it could be a danger zone where he thinks he has won by enough votes, his mps think he has not done enough, and the only winnerfrom think he has not done enough, and the only winner from that scenario is labour. so what do voters make of the threat that this represents to the prime minister? 0ur correspondent danny savage has been speaking to voters in redcar, one of the so—called red wall constituencies, which, at the last election, borisjohnson succeeded in bringing to the conservatives for the first time. redcar, traditionally a labour area
1:08 pm
which swung to the tories in the last general election. so how are the people feeling about the leader they supported? are the winds of change blowing? not necessarily. i think under the circumstances, i don't think there's anyone could have done any better. so if borisjohnson walks down redcar high street now, would you boo or cheer him? cheer him. you still think he is doing a good job? yes, and so the anger at him with that, was... ..you know. you were angry with him over partygate. yes, because i couldn't be with my parents who died. and the bigger picture, you would probably still back him next time round, as things stand at the moment. as things stand, i would. and you think his mps should back him tonight. yes, i do, yes. because like i keep saying, there is no alternative to him. it's by no means unanimous though. they watch what goes on in westminsterfrom here. this woman voted for borisjohnson last time, but won't again.
1:09 pm
ijust think he's a complete liar. i don't think we should have him at all. you don't think his mps should back him tonight? no, definitely not. not at all. not for what he's done to everybody. all the parties, all the people that couldn't see their own families or anything, it's not good, is it? what do you think of borisjohnson? would you vote for him? no, iwould not. what's he done to put you off? having parties during lockdown. he's the prime minister. he's the first prime minister to break the law. but it's not cut and dry. some think the prime minister should be given one more drink in the last chance saloon. so tonight should his mps back him or sack him? well, i think they should back him. he was good enough to win the election, if he loses the election, then sack him. there's certainly a plan b here. tonight, we will know whether the tories need one in westminster. danny savage, bbc news, redcar. let's speak to navjej johal, who is at west bridgford,
1:10 pm
an historically safe conservative seat on the edge of nottingham. yes, martine, this town is the heart of a traditionally safe conservative constituency, it was ken clarke, the former chancellor's old seat, the local conservative club is just around the corner from the high street, but there has been disquiet among tory voters i have been speaking to this morning. 0ne among tory voters i have been speaking to this morning. one man i spoke to who had voted conservative all his life said it was a disgrace that the prime minister had broken his own covid rules. there was a woman who said she was disappointed in borisjohnson but that there woman who said she was disappointed in boris johnson but that there was no alternative to him and she wanted the conservative mps to stick with him. borisjohnson still has supporters, a couple said this was alljust because of a pint of beer and they still had confidence in the
1:11 pm
prime minister. all of them, as many people here, we'll be watching what happens in westminster tonight with keen interest. happens in westminster tonight with keen interest-— keen interest. thank you very much. let's speak — keen interest. thank you very much. let's speak to _ keen interest. thank you very much. let's speak to duncan _ keen interest. thank you very much. let's speak to duncan kennedy, - keen interest. thank you very much. let's speak to duncan kennedy, to i let's speak to duncan kennedy, to find out what the pictures in winchester, another currently conservative constituency. to be honest, conservative constituency. to be honest. we _ conservative constituency. to be honest, we found _ conservative constituency. to be honest, we found it _ conservative constituency. to be honest, we found it really - conservative constituency. to be l honest, we found it really difficult to find people who are wholeheartedly in support of boris johnson staying. that is not to say they necessarily want him out, they are divided because they do not know what is going to come after him. this is very much a marginal seat, held with a majority of 985. to give you an example of what i mean, we came across a father and son this morning, the father in favour of borisjohnson, the son very much wanting him to leave, take a listen to what they have to say. i've just lost confidence in his
1:12 pm
ability to lead, _ i don't really trust him any more. i think it's good that. he's done some great things in terms of i supported . brexit, but other than that, ijust lost confidence in him, i'm afraid. my father had a different opinion. let's turn to the father. i am indeed. which way should it go tonight? should borisjohnson stay, or should they kick him out? he should stay. he's done so much, shown so much leadership, and particularly on international leadership recently, that i don't think anyone else would do the same. it just goes to itjust goes to show that boris johnson has the power to divide even families. i think a lot of people are struggling between the man himself, the person, and the policy. a lot of people do not trust him here in terms of the personality and over pa rtygate here in terms of the personality and over partygate but do like what he's doing on policies over and ukraine. like everybody else here, they will be watching the vote very closely indeed. and you can get much more
1:13 pm
on this evening's vote of confidence in borisjohnson online at bbc.co.uk/news. martine, thank you. the uk has announced it is sending multiple—launch rocket systems to ukraine. the defence secretary, ben wallace, said the long—range missiles will help ukraine defend itself against russia. it comes after the us announced it was also supplying a rocket system, in a move which drew an angry response from moscow. 0ur defence correspondent jonathan beale reports. ukraine's president zelensky visited his forces, now fighting a brutal costly war in the east, this weekend. sheltered in a building from the artillery shells that continue to rain down on their positions. this was his first visit to the donbas since russia refocussed its offensive here. he's already described the situation as hell. this a chance to boost morale. translation: you are true heroes
1:14 pm
of our country, ukraine. _ you are heroes of war. because of you, we have and will have our land and our country. ukraine's forces are outnumbered and outgunned. russia's vast arsenal of artillery and rockets being used to try and pummeland break ukraine's defence. both sides are taking heavy casualties. but for ukraine, more help will soon be on its way. today, britain announced it would be sending this, its most advanced rocket launcher, following the lead of the us, which is supplying ukraine with a similar system. the british army's multiple launch rocket system can fire a dozen rockets in a minute, and has a range of up to 50 mile, further than most of russia's artillery. the flow of weapons from the west has already angered moscow,
1:15 pm
though president putin has also been trying to play down its significance. translation: we believe - that the delivery of rocket systems by the united states and some other countries is related to making up for the losses of combat hardware. there is nothing new about that and this actually changes nothing. no one weapon is likely to dramatically alter the course of the war in the donbas, which is already being reduced to waste and ashes, particularly in such small numbers. the us is so far sending four of its rocket launchers to ukraine, the uk is supplying three. but for ukraine, which has repeatedly asked for these systems, every little helps. jonathan beale, bbc news. let's talk to our ukraine correspondent joe inwood, who is in kyiv. more than 100 days in, and it looks like the conflict is deepening. yeah, absolutely, but it is also kind of grinding and slowing down,
1:16 pm
the fight, asjohnny was saying, is building, and we have been hearing conflicting reports about what is going on in the city. what we do know that it is increasingly bloody, this bitter and difficult artillery battle that we are seeing. the question is, asjohnny was discussing, what difference these new hardware can make. it will give ukrainians some advantage, it is accurate and has a long range, but it is unlikely it will turn the tide of the war. all sides are expecting for and of the war. all sides are expecting forand digging in of the war. all sides are expecting for and digging in for a long fight. a public inquiry has begun in belfast into the physical and mental abuse of vulnerable adults at a hospital in county antrim. more than 70 staff have been suspended as a precaution from muckamore abbey, which caters for people with severe learning disabilities and mental health issues. families say they hope the hearings will reveal the full scale of the scandal, as our ireland correspondent chris page reports.
1:17 pm
some of the most vulnerable people in northern ireland were supposed to be cared for here. but instead, they suffered cruelty. relatives of patients in muckamore abbey hospital first raised concerns about physical abuse five years ago. they have been campaigning ever since. these families expect some of the evidence they hear will be very harrowing, but they hope the inquiry will reveal the full scale of the abuse scandal, that it will give them answers and accountability. there is a litany of allegations of wrongdoing and adult safeguarding concerns. glynn brown is speaking out on behalf of his son, aaron, who has autism and was in muckamore. i'd like to note that this is the worse adult safeguarding scandal since the nhs was formed. so what are the questions that you want to see answered?
1:18 pm
we have understood there has been catastrophic failures in all directions and all departments. so we would be wanting to know how come that every protection measure that was in place failed so miserably? muckamore abbey houses adults with severe learning difficulties and mental health needs. detectives have been viewing around 300,000 hours of cctv from inside. more than 70 staff have been suspended as a precaution. police have arrested 3a suspects. so far, eight people have been charged. the public inquiry was set up by the devolved government. its task is to find out why the abuse happened and how it was allowed. it is critical that this inquiry forms recommendations with teeth, to ensure that this could never happen again. anyone could have a loved one who requires care in a hospital like muckamore, and the situation now is such that how can you know they are safe? the chair opened the session
1:19 pm
by acknowledging there had been dreadful mistreatments. because so many of the patients were either nonverbal or had difficultty communicating, they couldn't express what was happening, or they were not regarded as credible. many of the parents and relatives and carers who trusted the hospital have been let down. hearings will carry on for a number of months. those who have pushed hard for the inquiry want nothing less than the whole distressing truth of what happened in this hospital. chris page, bbc news, belfast. our top story this lunchtime. the prime minister is facing a vote by his mps tonight on whether to oust him as party leader. and dreaming of fewer days in the office. we take a look at what's thought to be the world's biggest trial of a four—day week. coming up on the bbc news channel. the build—up to wimbledon begins, as the grass—court season continues

at the nottingham 0pen. harriet dart and heather watson are in action, before emma raducanu begins her campaign tomorrow. the us climate envoy has warned countries against using the war in ukraine as an excuse to build new coal mines and power plants. it comes as the united nations this morning opened a climate change conference in germany. 0ur climate editor justin rowlatt is there. justin. so climate diplomacy about momentum _ justin. so climate diplomacy about momentum and _ justin. so climate diplomacy about momentum and what _ justin. so climate diplomacy about momentum and what john - justin. so climate diplomacy about momentum and what john kerry i justin. so climate diplomacy about momentum and what john kerry isj momentum and whatjohn kerry is worried about is the war in ukraine has knocked the wind out of the sails of the process, he is worried countries are more worried about getting energy supplies and food supplies for their people than about cutting carbon emission, he says the world isn't doings enough and when we spoke whatjohn kerry is worried about is the war in ukraine has
1:21 pm
knocked the wind out of the sails of the process, he is worried countries are more worried about getting energy supplies and food supplies for their people than about cutting carbon emission, he says the world isn't doings enough and when we spoke he said he wanted "a wholesale elevation of effort from countries all round the world. " the war in ukraine has given a pass momentarily to some coal usage, but i think it would be an enormous mistake for anybody to believe that ukraine is a legitimate excuse for building out massive new infrastructure that is going to be there 20, 30, 40 years from now. if that's the choice, then we're cooked. there's no way we can stay within 1.5 degrees, there's no way we will stay within two degrees. so delegates here will be setting the agenda for climate negotiations for the rest of the year. year.. at the heart will be getting countries to ratchet up ambitions on cut emissions, there will be talk about helping the developing world adapt to the can climate change, there will will be talk about finance, is the delivered world going to help, developing world i should say with
1:22 pm
the transition to a lower carbon economy and we expect there to be talk about predicting extreme weather event, we know we will see more and we expect a discussion about how to ensure that there are weather forecatsing centres that can minimise damage and deaths from extreme weather events.— a fire and a huge explosion have killed at least 49 people and injured hundreds more at a storage depot near the city of chittagong, bangladesh. hundreds of people had arrived to tackle the fire when a number of shipping containers exploded at the site in sitakunda. the blast was so large it was heard several kilometres away and shattered the windows of nearby buildings. a shortage of nurses is posing a risk to patient safety and causing even more to leave the profession. that's according to the royal college of nursing, which says that only a quarter of shifts had the planned number of registered nurses on duty. the government says it's recruiting thousands more nurses and that action is being taken to tackle the covid backlog.

travel disruption is continuing today, with easyjet having cancelled 37 of its flights. it comes as thousands of people are believed to be attempting to return to the uk, after hundreds of flights were cancelled over the weekend. let's talk to our business correspondent theo leggett, who is in central london. casting theo, the impact on travellers continues? it theo, the impact on travellers continues?— theo, the impact on travellers continues? ,, ., ., , ., continues? it s although will is a chance of continues? it s although will is a change of emphasis, _ continues? it s although will is a change of emphasis, what - continues? it s although will is a change of emphasis, what we i continues? it s although will is a | change of emphasis, what we saw continues? it s although will is a - change of emphasis, what we saw last week and the course of the jubilee bank holiday weekend was people trying to get away on holiday and finding out flights were delayed or cancelled, they were suffering from disruption, it was disappointment. what we are seeing is people who managed to get away, some of those people are finding it difficult to get home. there are pressures to get hole quickly because people have to be back at work, at school and so on, so we have this 37 flights cancelled by easyjet. 0ther on, so we have this 37 flights cancelled by easyjet. other airlines are cancelling service, wizz air, british airways appeared to have
1:24 pm
cancelled a few, so it is notjust easyjet. there is a bigger picture, which is what we are seeing at the moment is the holiday surge in traffic this is the chance to get away, after the months of shut down, lockdown we had during covid, but during the periods travel was restricteder line, airport, everybody involved with getting you from one airport to another, they had to cut back on staff, because they simply couldn't afford to keep them on when we weren't able to fly. now people are flocking back, there is a problem, these companies can't get the staff they need quickly enough, they have to go through things like security clearances and that takes time, so at the moment we are seeing backlog, it is a minority of flights being cancelled. easyjet said it is running some 1700 flights today of which 37 will can celticed so a small proportion but for the passengers involved, it is of course horribly inconvenient, people feel stranded, they can't get home there,
1:25 pm
is a lot of anger, the concern will be looking forward, because obviously, in a couple of months�* time, we are going to be seeing traffic ramping up again for the summer holidays and the airlines and the government are pretty determined that this situation should not happen again, the question is, how do you prevent it? thank you. #3 an average of 2&04 vehicles are being stole even are day, the equivalent of one every six minutes according to figures released by police forces in the uk. south yorkshire and the city of london saw the sharpest rises in thefts. travel disruption is continuing today, with easyjet having transport for london is advising against travel on the london underground today, because thousands of staff have gone on strike. they�*re say they�*re
1:26 pm
concerned aboutjob losses and changes to pensions. the disruption is expected to continue until tomorrow morning. a four day working week, with no loss of pay may sound like an impossible dream for many. but that�*s exactly the setup for more than 3000 workers across the uk, from today — in what�*s thought to be the world�*s biggest trial of a four day week. so could the pilot — organised by the four day week campaign — lead to happier, more productive staff? our business correspondent emma simpson has been finding out. instead of working a five day week, how about pouring it all into four? we are talking 100% of pay for 80% of the hours. this small brewery is about to try. we are a simple business, we have to produce and package the same amount of beer every week we do now, that is our challenge. the pandemic has already given us a taste of flexible working. this boss believes it is time for a new approach. there is a real sense of this is the way we do things because this is the way we do things, and people don�*t rethink things, they don�*t think about what is necessary, and this is a chance for to us to do
1:27 pm
something positive with that. staff are keen to make it work. how are you going to be more productive? just being quicker. if i know i have to get stuff done in four days�* time, i will enjoy that day, extra day, and it will be a good incentive. british workers do some of the longest hours in europe, and we�*re also nothing like as productive as we should be. could we perform better, if we do fewer hours? that is what this big trial is trying to find out. around 70 firms are taking part. this recruitment company in exeter started injanuary. fiona uses her day off to get chores done, so she can enjoy the weekend. if you�*re happier outside of work you�*re happier in work, and there is the productiveness there. josh likes golf, but the big thing is childcare. most of the time i spend with my young daughter, so again, which frees up a lot of money for nursery fees, which is always helpful.
1:28 pm
it is all about productivity. the boss, simon, started a four day week for a better work life balance and says profits are actually up. interestingly, across the board, all off our inputs have gone up, and we quite simply, everyone�*s doing more in less time. people are burning out. here is the professor leading the research for this global four day week project, but how realistic is it? you can be 100 as productive in 80% of the time in many workplaces. it's also about the whole economics of this, so that you might become 10% more productive but your company is also saving on health care costs, on hiring new people, so that they come out ahead in the end. packing the work into four days is a tall order, but this brewery hopes it will deliver a better way to work. emma simpson, bbc news.
